Tang Zhou and his wife are planning to have their second child, a test-tube baby. His wife had a natural delivery when she was 34 and their first child, a boy, is now 7. The couple are now hoping to have a daughter through a surrogate mother in the US. “My wife couldn’t bear another delivery because of her heart condition and her age. Surrogacy helps avoid the risks to older mothers,” Tang said, “Moreover, our second child will be born in the US and become a citizen there. That is not a bad choice.”
The couple spent weeks researching their move, looking for a reliable agency that provides surrogacy services overseas. Surrogacy is still illegal in many countries, including China. “We will be taking much higher risks by relying on a surrogate mother in China because we are not protected by any regulation or law. You pay a lot of money but may meet with many problems,” Tang said. “You might not even get your baby back.”
Tang and his wife are part of an increasing number of Chinese couples who are turning to surrogacy services. Tang also considered surrogacy in Thailand but dropped the idea after recent reports about a baby with Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症) who was delivered through surrogacy and said to have been deserted in Thailand by the biological parents from Australia. Instead, Tang chose the California Surrogacy Center agency as his first option after reading the detailed introduction on its website. Compared with many other agencies that he could contact only via e-mail, the center has a consulting office in Beijing, Tang said.
The center is in San Diego, California, and has satellite offices in Los Angeles and Beijing. According to Liu, the center has been operating for more than eight years, and about 100 surrogate mothers live in California.
1.“A surrogate mother” refers to a mother who _______.
A. acts as a baby-sitter
B. nurses another woman’s baby
C. offers service to a new mother
D. gives birth to a baby for another woman
2.Which of the following is True according to the passage?
A. Chinese couples prefer to have a test-tube baby.
B. Couples face no risks in surrogacy services.
C. A sick test-tube baby was deserted in Thailand.
D. Unhealthy test-tube babies can be legally abandoned.
3.Tang and his wife turned to overseas surrogacy services because _______.
A. surrogacy remains illegal in China
B. they call for less money
C. it is more convenient to contact them
D. most of them are experienced
4.The passage mainly tells us that ________.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
My neighbor Orlando is a paramedic (急救医士). He and his wife are some of the nicest people I have ever met. A few years back we started this sort of “favor war”, where one of us would do something for the other, such as shoveling (铲) their driveway or helping them build a shed, and next time the other would try to top it with another favor.
Yesterday morning there was maybe 2 or 3 feet of snow on the ground and I remembered he shoveled my driveway for me last snowfall. So I took out my shovel and took care of both our sidewalks and driveways because it was my turn to do a favor back. It took a while but I finished and got into my car for work. What I didn’t realize was that Orlando had to work that day too.
Fast forward to this morning I got a knock on my door. It was him. He immediately shook my hand and informed me that because I shoveled his driveway and sidewalk for him, he was able to get to work earlier. As soon as he started his shift, a call came through that a young boy was in a medical emergency. Luckily he and his partner were only about 2 minutes away, but the next closest ambulance was in 10 minutes. This kid did not have 10 minutes. He barely had 2 minutes. Because my neighbor got to work sooner, the young boy got to live his life.
This isn’t a humble brag (吹牛). This is to inform others that even the smallest favors can have the biggest impacts. It wasn’t too much of trouble to shovel his driveway for him, but because I did, the young kid got to see his family again, go back to school again, talk to his friends again and live his life.
1.What can we know about the writer and Orlando?
A. They once had a conflict.
B. They signed a favorable agreement.
C. They favor shoveling snow together.
D. They are always ready to help each other.
2.Who saved the boy before it was too late?
A. The writer. B. The boy’s parents.
C. Orlando and his wife. D. Orlando and his partner.
3.What does the writer intend to tell us?
A. Never ask for trouble. B. No favor is too small.
C. One cannot always be lucky. D. Don’t lose heart in an emergency.
